I think they're expecting a daily problem set like Advent of Code. This is not a set of problems to solve, it's a series with one release per day in December, similar to an Advent calendar.

I feel like I'm missing the context of the sleep(1) debate and reading both points of view they seem like they're arguing for the same side? Would love for someone to cleanly explain both sides to this as I clearly don't quite get it.

I don't think Brett was on the other side of the sleep(1) debate, just that he'd previously had disagreements with the author of this post.

I think the point is there are many "startups" with similar revenue and growth to Linear that never become profitable. I don't think Linear qualifies as a small business and I don't think they're scaling less quickly than someone in same market with more funding and less profit.

To me a startup hasn't found a product-market fit yet. That's the whole point, they're trying to find a way to get profitable. As soon as you are profitable, then you are a normal company.

That definition, I never heard before. I think you're confusing yourself and others if you make up your own meaning of words.

A startup can be profitable.

Wikipedia's first line is: "A startup or start-up is a company or project typically undertaken by an entrepreneur to seek, develop, and validate a scalable business model."

Then it has a notion of "growing large beyond the solo founder". But I argue that most of the time, this is just the story they tell to justify their losing money. As in: "we are not profitable YET, because we need to grow larger to reach the scale we need, hence you should give us more money".

> A startup can be profitable.

Is Logitech a startup? They (or at least not so long ago) call themselves a startup. I disagree: it's an established company.

If a company of 20 employees has been profitable for 10 years and doesn't grow, would you call it a startup? If it is profitable and keeps growing while staying profitable, wouldn't you say it's "expanding"?

Now if that company of 20 employees suddently gets a big funding to try to become a company of 2000 and goes into a state where it may well bankrupt in the next 2 years if it fails, then I would again consider it a startup: it's "trying a completely new business model" (one that works for 2000 employees instead of 20, probably with the goal of making the leadership rich).

Another thing is that startups usually tend to be those Ponzi schemes where employees are badly treated but get not-so-worthy stock options (that may compensate someday for the bad conditions, but often don't) while the founders get a shot at getting rich. If your company is profitable and stable, it's much harder to do: how would you justify the bad conditions if you could actually afford better ones?

But of course, saying that you are a startup is "cool", which is exactly why Logitech was saying it though they were one of the big tech companies in the world.

It wasn't quite monthly but on my radwagon 4 I would change the pads every other month at least. Hauling two kids around SF on a heavy bike plus a little bit of poor design on Rad's part.

I think they more specifically mean server side rendering of react components vs an SPA.

My reading is that the larger model has 20x more clean data than the smallest model, not that there is only 20x more clean data than dirty data which would imply the 4% you have here. I agree it could be worded more clearly.

Ambigrams can be read right side up and rotated by 180 degrees (sometimes other rotations also exist). Some of the ones here say the same thing when turned, and some say a different, usually related, word or phrase.

Now the site makes sense. There was no content on it before and no explanation of what the site was. Just a leader board with this AM logo thing...

Edit: well, on reload, it's blank again.

Ah so it's like anagrams

Like a cross between anagrams and palindromes.

Most of the images on the site are interactable, and doing so will help visualize the various ways you get multiple meanings from a single "gram".

It's a little difficult to parse but this is hourly share of transactions. If transactions were evenly spread out over 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, each hour would get about 1.8% of transactions. So a 0.4% change in hourly share for a given hour is quite significant.

Makes sense. I appreciate the explanation

We bought a projector. Would definitely recommend this if you have a wall that works for it. No unsettling frame smoothing, a minute or two warm up that adds just enough friction and no smart functions or ads.

I have too much light but otherwise, great suggestion. Short throw laser projectors are the brightest I have seen but even they get washed out in this Florida sun.

I second this. Great for movie parties and sporting events. I got a reasonable quality one as surplus from a high-school IT department on fb marketplace.
